Sarak Czarnecki is president of the York and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and Director of the Business Clinic of the Business School at York St John University.
The current director of York BID is also a former hotelier, who helped Helen Heraty make a success of the Deans Court Hotel in York. She also took the honour of Personality of the Year in the 2023 business awards.
Sarah says the business clinic at the university is going on from strength to strength, in supporting both students and local businesses through its extensive range of courses.

The chamber is also helping businesses with courses, networking and other initiatives and is increasingly getting its message across to government on a range of issues.
She told the Press: “Both organisations work hard for the benefit of business.”
Sarah was nominated for the personality award, which is sponsored by York Racecourse, by a colleague and believes her success was recognition for her efforts and contribution to York’s business community over the years.
